“…It can be regarded as a special type of eco-driving training, as a periodic report is more dynamic and customized to drivers’ individual habits. The frequency of the feedback can be daily [ 37 ], weekly [ 45 ], monthly [ 37 , 47 , 60 ], or varied by drivers [ 49 ], and it is an essential factor that affects the learning process of drivers toward eco-driving skills. For example, Ando and Nishihori [ 37 ] revealed that compared to daily feedback, sporadic feedback pushed monthly or weekly may have better performance in encouraging drivers to adopt eco-driving behaviour.…”

Eco-driving guidance refers to courses, warnings, or suggestions provided to human drivers to improve driving behaviour to enable less energy use and emissions. This paper reviews existing eco-driving guidance studies and identifies challenges to tackle in the future. We summarize two categories of current guidance systems, static and dynamic, distinguished by whether real-world driving records are used to generate behaviour guidance or not. We find that influencing factors, such as the content of suggestions, the display methods, and drivers’ socio-demographic characteristics, have varied effects on the guidance results across studies. Drivers are reported to have basic eco-driving knowledge, while the question of how to motivate the acceptance and practice of such behaviour, especially in the long term, is overlooked. Adaptive driving suggestions based on drivers’ individual habits can improve the effectiveness and acceptance while this field is under investigation. In-vehicle assistance presents potential safety issues, and visualized in-vehicle assistance is reported to be most distractive. Given existing studies focusing on the operational level, a common agreement on the guidance design and associated influencing factors has yet to be reached. Research on the systematic and tactical design of eco-driving guidance and in-vehicle interaction is advised.

“…This means the attenuation of the training effect after three months is not obvious. In addition, it seems that if there is follow-up evaluation feedback or non-economic incentives, the effect of eco-driving training can be prevented from declining [ 16 ]. Many studies have pointed out the decline of eco-driving training [ 14 , 16 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 94 ].…”

Many studies have pointed out the decline of eco-driving training [ 14 , 16 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 94 ]. However, currently, there is little research on the question of how long the effect of eco-driving training will attenuate to a certain level.…”

Constrained by traditional fuel-saving technologies that have almost reached the limit of fuel-saving potential, the difficulty in changing urban congestion, and the low market penetration rate of new energy vehicles, in the short term, eco-driving seems to be an effective way to achieve energy-saving and emissions reduction in the transportation industry. This paper reviews the energy-saving theory and technology of eco-driving, eco-driving capability evaluation, and the practical application of eco-driving, and points out some limitations of previous studies. Specifically, the research on eco-driving theory mostly focuses on a single vehicle in a single scene, and there is a lack of eco-driving research for fleets or regions. In addition, the parameters used to evaluate eco-driving capabilities mainly focus on speed, acceleration, and fuel consumption, but external factors that are not related to the driver will affect these parameters, making the evaluation results unreasonable. Fortunately, vehicle big data and the Internet of Vehicles (V2I) provides an information basis for solving regional eco-driving, and it also provides a data basis for the study of data-driven methods for the fair evaluation of eco-driving. In general, the development of new technologies provides new ideas for solving some problems in the field of eco-driving.

“…[21] points out that energy efficiency can be calculated by taking the ratio of vehicle consumption/kilometres travelled, regardless of the geographical area and industry sector. Weather conditions [43], as well as the seasonality, also seem to play an important role in the driver's performance.…”

The transport procurement process is based on criteria selected by shippers when soliciting tenders from carriers. Although sustainable transport indicators are not yet a formal selection criterion in France, some indicators are starting to be gradually considered in freight transport contracts between shippers and carriers. Dispersed information can be gathered regarding Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards compliance for trucks, their fuel consumption, the number of signatory shippers to the CO2 reduction charter, and the search for less-polluting alternative freight solutions. However, these elements are difficult to quantify, and it is often hard to formalise and evaluate their related performance. Therefore, the objective of this article is to draw up, at the request of ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency), a series of reliable, operational sustainable transport indicators that can be applied to all shippers regardless of their size or industry sector. As part of the FRET 21 charter deployment in France, this article proposes a list of measurable sustainability indicators to support transport buyers when selecting freight carriers.
